Coriolanus was announced for publication in September or October in the Catalogue Raisonné of April 1913. It was about half printed when Cobden-Sanderson became ill but he continued to work on revising the text and compiling the errata while he convalesced at a nursing home in October. The result was that it appeared in March 1914.
Our copy has the booklabel of the Grolier Club Library with the withdrawal stamp on the label, there is a Japanese bookseller’s tickets tipped onto the rear pastedown.
